To fully appreciate the personality of different grape varieties and the subtle character of wines, it is essential to have an appropriately fine-tuned glass shape. The shape is responsible for the flow of the wine and consequently where it touches the various taste zones of the tongue. Crystal of America's Regional Territory Manager, Mari Beth Baumberger will lead you through this sensory workshop. Four varietals of wine will be served with this class, as well as hors d'oeuvres at the completion of the tasting. Each class participant will receive a set of four Riedel wine glasses (a $118 value).
